raced a jetta GLI then a sti
i went out to get some taco bell and as i was turning out i saw a jetta GLI. i followed for about 15 minutes and then i passed him in traffic and he got behind me and i signal to turn on the main road SR64. we get to a red light and im thinkin he wants to race but not sure so i steadily go out of first then shift to 2nd then he takes off and put my foot down and immediately i pull about 2 car lengths by the end of 2nd and so much more by the middle of 3rd. that was that race. then i was on the way to blockbuster after i stopped at a gas station a pull up to the light to turn and i see a silver 04-05 sti go by so i really want to race it because i never have and to see if it was true about our cars pulling an sti. so i catch up to him at a red light and he has his g/f in the car i think. im not gonna launch bc i know ill get killed.but i ease out again to about 4 grand and he punches it and i floor and get full traction. he pulled about 2 1/2 car lengths on me but as soon as i shifted to 2nd he stopped gaining and when i shifted to 3rd i was even more suprised that i was gaining on him. we only went to about 80-85 because of traffic but the way i was pulling on him im pretty sure i would have pulled up next him maybe even passed him.
well thats my war stories for the night.

im not gonna throw the b.s. flag or anything, since i have never raced a sti from a lower speed, but i have raced one on the highway from 80mph and he pulled on me pretty good. i guess either A: your guy was a bad driver, or B: the sti's arent that great from a slower punch... either way, good kills man!

On another note, I finally raced an SRT-4 on the highway from like a 70mph roll...he was stock...since he had temp tags, I doubt he had started modding yet...but I left him like he was standing still...and then when he passed me I waved...and he just stared at me...typical SRT-4 owner...can never give credit where credit is due.

i guess he was a bad driver cause i gained steadily but slowly on him on him or he might not have been trying but from the looks and sound of his engine id say he was but who knows i was excited to see my car keeping up with an sti at that.

K&N Drop-in air filter
Cobb AP Stage 2 93oct
Turboxs Stealthback Exhaust (Catless)
that is not heavily modded. that is BPU. heavily modded would be a lot longer list including fuel mods, turbo upgrade, internals, cams, etc. supposedly a stock srt is supposed to beat a stock sti from a roll. so with his small list, i would brag about it too.

As for my exhaust, I left the stock muffler on, so its not much louder then stock, but you definitly know its there. You actually hear more noise inside the cab from under the hood then you do from the rear of the car. I may get an axle back to complete the setup some day, but for now I like it.

I would guess that the STi was toying around with you, speeding up to get a couple of cars on you and then letting you catch up and hit the gas again to just get a head of you.

Going from Stage 1 to stage 2 with the Stealthback did wonders for the whole power band...if this car came from the factory like that it would be great. I never raced an SRT-4 from a roll when I was stock...so who knows.
As for being butthurt...not really, if you a buy a car for pure speed, you need to buy something other then an STI, SRT-4 Cobalt SS/SC...if I could have a Carrera GT that would be great...check out this video of one...
